Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for improving strength of a thin glass member for an electronic device are disclosed. In one embodiment, the glass member can have improved strength characteristics in accordance with a predetermined stress profile. The predetermined stress profile can be formed through multiple stages of chemical strengthening. The stages can, for example, have a first ion exchange stage where larger ions are exchanged into the glass member, and a second ion exchange stage where some of the larger ions are exchanged out from the glass member. In one embodiment, the glass member can pertain to a glass cover for a housing for an electronic device. The glass cover can be provided over or integrated with a display.

Abstract: Connectors for electronic devices are provided with embedded antennas. The connectors may be 30-pin connectors. A 30-pin connector may have a conductive shell structure that defines a cavity and a planar dielectric member that extends into the cavity and that has contact pins. An antenna may be formed from an antenna resonating element on the planar dielectric member and an antenna ground formed from the conductive shell structure. An antenna may be formed from a slot in the conductive shell. The antenna and the pins may be electrically coupled to an electronic device using a cable.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. The display may have active components such as display pixels formed on a display substrate layer. The display substrate layer may be formed from a glass substrate layer. Thin-film transistors and other components for the display pixels may be formed on the glass substrate. An encapsulation glass layer may be bonded to the glass substrate using a ring-shaped bond structure. The ring- shaped bond structure may extend around the periphery of the encapsulation glass layer and the substrate glass layer. The bond structure may be formed from a glass frit, a solid glass ring, integral raised glass portions of the glass layers, meltable metal alloys, or other bond materials. Chemical and physical processing operations may be used to temper the glass layers, to perform annealing operations, to preheat the glass layers, and to promote adhesion.

Abstract: Plugs with core structural members (110, 210) and methods for manufacturing plugs with core structural members are provided. A plug can include a core structural member (110, 210) that may increase the structural integrity of the plug. The plug can further include contact pads (251, 252, 253, 254) and traces (261, 262, 263, 264), and each trace can electrically couple with one of the contact pads and extend along a plug axis (205) towards the proximal end (e.g., base section) of the plug. In orientation-specific embodiments, the traces may be disposed on the surface of the plug. However, in other embodiments, the traces may be disposed below but near the surface of the plug. The plug may also include one or more insulating layers (220) to prevent contact pads and traces from shorting.
